Plaid is the new fashion obsession of influencers | How to wear the timeless pattern like they do

Obviously, plaid is not a new trend; on the contrary, it has a long and rich history that is associated with major names in history and the fashion industry.

Checkered pattern is one of the most timeless designs, untouched by fashion trends, as it makes its presence felt in A/W collections through its many variations, from classic Scottish tartan to the always stylish Pied de Poule, as well as countless other color combinations. Season by season, we find it sometimes higher up in the trends and sometimes lower down, and this year checkered pattern is present in street style and the wardrobes of fashion influencers. It may not have stood out on the runways of the most prominent fashion houses, but it did stand out in the looks of the most famous trendsetters, who “create” trends through the paparazzi lens so they can reach every corner of the globe!
